Cracked Open — T.L. Christianson

Dragons, bonded mates, and irreversible decisions.​After a car accident left my only parent – my father in the hospital, I was swept away to the Dragon Born Academy by my estranged grandmother. If I had to be there, I'd be an observer of this place with its rituals and superstitions… After all, everyone's made it clear I don't belong. But then it happened…and Ashe Carrick – my impossibly irresistible bond-mate happened. Being Cracked Open changed everything… Who I thought I was, WHAT I thought I was… DRAGON BORN. The words alone bring to mind monsters and princesses in castles. I am the princess and the monster they locked away. However, my story has no damsels in distress, waiting to be rescued. It's self-rescue time, and I'm done playing nice. ***** ★★★★★ the chemistry, the romance, the anger, the betrayal just wow!... in my top 5 reads!!⁠– Goodreads reviewer⁠⁠★★★★★ Wonderfully written… impossible to put down.⁠– Goodreads reviewer⁠⁠★★★★★ Wow!
